1995 Supra impulse Soft floors

[95supra]

Can anyone shed some light on how to replace the floors in my boat. I know the carpet will probably need to be replaced but how involved will floor restoration be. I only have a few spots in the rear on the exterior left hand side but after a tear down there maybe more. Pictures would sure help

Are you sure its a 95 ? It should be all composite construction.

Like he said, if '95, would be odd to have a soft floor as it was all composite.

Your boats serial number is on the rear right of the transom just below the rub rail.
What are the last two digits?
If "95" then it is a 1995 model.

I'll have to verify

Easier question: is your windshield rounded or square? Rounded started with the composite floors. Square windshields have wood floors. As you see from the pictures in this thread, Mr. Hunter, Mr. Waters, and I all have wood floors.

Yup, I guess I had wishful thinking, mine is a 1991 so now what? The engine mounts are tight and holding and I'm not going to split the boat hull, suggestions. This boat looks fantastic and only 360 hours, runs great

If you don't split the hull all you can do is cut out the soft spots and patch it up . Keep an eye on the stringers and engine alignment and enjoy the boat as long as you can.

Thanks for all your feedback, it is appreciated

What would it cost to have this done, four tines what the boat is worth ha ha?

[middlegriff1]

ive seen estimates from 3500-5k for stringers and floor

Just did one. Didn't have to uncap it.

[middlegriff1]

I haven't done it but I can imagine it's: pulling the rubrail and drilling out all the rivets holding the upper and lower together, disconnecting any wired connections, steering cable, and throttle cable, might be a couple other things people can chime in on. If you search cap off restoration there are a few threads with pictures

Guess you have to ask how soft the floor is an how much it bothers you. The reality is, that if you pull up the carpet and try a local repair of the floor, you are likely to find more problems beneath. And a little project may begat a bigger project as you try to cut back to dry wood before reglassing the floor. I'm in the same boat, as it were. I'm watching the motor mounts and so far no one has put their foot through the floor. Some time in the future I'll be getting the floor and stringers done though.
